But then Mercnbeth are honest enough to admit their hatred of lawyers arises from a lawsuit they are engaged in which has cost them six figures to defend. candystripper quote:
You mentioned this twice. Once was too much. Maybe it's to save face, but it's wrong. I really tried to let this die, but I won't let my position be misrepresented. I hate no one. I hate the industry of lawsuits. The actions of lawyers have ruined the image of professionalism that lawyers had. The lawsuit and my attorney's inept handling was anecdotal reference. It's the actions and activities that generated, not hatred, but disrespect. Working for me, if you related that story of how you "won" the case, I would have been pleased with the result for pragmatic reasons, but I would have never considered having you represent me again. I would much rather have paid the six figures than be forced to rationalize my attorney exposing herself while representing me. To be as clear as possible, that would hold even if the attorney was doing so "Pro Bono". I am cursed with a mind that analyzes what I read and see differently then most. And when I do I'm compelled to point it out. Other than the "for instances" that I've already covered. Here's another...Why are woman considered a minority and deserving of special EEO/AA consideration in colleges and in the work force if they represent more than 50% of the population? Former prejudice you say? Then why do woman represent over 50% of the students in colleges, more than 50% of the grad students, more than 50% of the students attending med school, and over 60% of the people attending law school? The answer isn't important. Does pointing this out indicate that I hate women? NO - it's pointing out fact. Since you've continued to try to spin this, I'll pose one other question. When you originally posted this you noted that your general counsel wondered and asked; "what happened"... quote: Mercnbeth quote:
Later my general counsel would ask "what happened?" and i'd look innocent and say "i dunno...they just folded" candystripper. quote:
If your behavior was consistent with this; quote: Mercnbeth quote:
The Code of Professional Ethics calls for "zealous representation". i never did anything sexual WITH opposing counsel; it's not my fault men cannot multi-task <WEG>. candystripper Why not be proud and disclose it to him? quote:
beth wants me to point out that she doesn't hate lawyers either. One even helped her out. I checked and he didn't have to stuff a salami in his pants to do so. He just "zealously represented" the facts. Mercnbeth Man...setting things into quotes was a pain. Merc, i am confused by Your comments that You hate lawsuits; You hate the "legal profession" and Your own lawyer, who You say is incompetent and has billed You six figures to date....but "You don't hate lawyers". But no matter; i won cases and settled others on favorable terms and won restitution as well as big fines that allowed the elderly and the poor to recover from a fraud...and others in my office sat on their lazy asses, working 35 hours a week and settling for $2,500....sometimes $500..for violations no different than ones i had on my desk. i did use my legs...but You can be sure the 70 and 80 hour weeks of work i had put into the case was also a factor. i did not HAVE to work overtime and was not compensated in any for doing so; but a trial takes preparation. The cases i settled were either (1) losers for the agency IMO; or (2) ones i was ordered to settle by my general counsel. As a rule they were settled "on the courthouse steps"; so i had done all the trial preparation necessary. i won't say i resent the insults You've shoved my way. Let's just live and let live. i told a funny story. You cannot see the humor and have accused me of "self-humiliation". i cannot help but think if You didn't have such animosity for lawyers You'd get a chuckle out of my story and move on. You say i misrepresent You and misunderstand You, but i have quoted Your words, so they speak for themselves. It's a silly thing to argue about; can we please let it drop? (BTW, i am no expert on equal opportunity advantages which women may receive insofar as college and law school admissions policies are concerned. i know the federal and some state and local government contracts sometimes have "set asides" for minority businesses, which generally includes women-owned businesses.) candystripper
